is there any problem ?

Your projects are in any place where the path has spaces??

I think it should be in platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release

As you have used ionic cordova build --release

Try run your project
ionic cordova run android

my project path dont have any space.

Hi@h4t4k4
If you want debug build try this

ionic cordova build android --prod

or for release build

ionic cordova build android --prod

Check the location inside
Your Project-->Platforms-->android--->build---->outputs--->apk
Otherwise add platform before taking build

ionic cordova platform add android

there is no “Build” folder after execute ionic cordova build android --prod. is there anything wrong?

@h4t4k4 Is this ionic latest project?
Can you post your ionic info?

remove it and add again
